Chemcon
The Annual Session of the Institute, popularly known as the Indian Chemical Engineering Congress (CHEMCON), is the most important event in the calendar of the IIChE. Held every December at one of its centres, the four-day CHEMCON features a host of events, which include memorial lectures, plenary lectures, seminars, symposia, panel discussion, exhibitions, etc. To the Indian chemical engineering fraternity in the country and abroad, CHEMCON offers the most attractive platform, ensuring four days of intensive interface with the best of brains – national and international – in chemical engineering and allied fields.
Three memorial lectures, namely Dr H L Roy Memorial Lecture (the Founder President), Prof N R Kamath Memorial Lecture (a distinguished professor associated with the University Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai, and IIT, Mumbai), and C K Murthy Memorial Lecture (an accomplished chemical engineer who passed away prematurely) set the tune of every CHEMCON. These lectures are delivered by the who’s who of academia, elite research establishments and the corporate world in the national and international circuit and they are a veritable treasure trove of knowledge. CHEMCONs are often held in collaboration with premier chemical engineering bodies of the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, etc, who send large delegations, hold joint symposia/seminars and take part in meaningful dialogue.
Lectures by CHEMCON Distinguished Speakers and international symposia are the other prestige events, where one gets access and exposure to the latest happenings in the ever-expanding domain of chemical engineering.
Chemcon-2009 was organised last year by Waltair Regional Centre during 27 to 30 December 2009 at Department of Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering (A), Andhra University, Visakhapatnam 530 003, with the theme ‘Role of Chemical Engineers in Pharma Industry ’. Chemcon-2010 will be organized by Annamalai-Neyveli Regional Centre during 27-29 December 2010 at Department of Chemical Engineering, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar 608 002 , on the theme ‘Emergence of Biotechnology in Process Industry - A Sustainable Growth & Clean World’.

SChemcon
The idea of starting a national programme for the students of chemical engineering in line with CHEMCON was being nurtured by the Institute during the last few years. A Students’ CHEMCON (Schemcon) acts as a source of encouragement and self-confidence to young minds, which is considered as the most fertile ground for generation of original and creative ideas. The first ever Students’ Chemcon was organised during 7 to 9 December 2005 at IIT-Guwahati jointly by the Student Chapters at IIT-Guwahati and Assam Engineering College, both newly formed. The response received from the students of chemical engineering in general to participate in this programme had been phenomenonal. The success of Schemcon 2005 has encouraged the Institute to continue with the programmes of Schemcons.
Schemcon-2009 was organized last year by Student Chapter at Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT-Roorkee, during September 19-20, 2009, on the theme 'Chemical Engineers for Sustainable Development. Schemcon-2010 will be organized by Student Chapter at Department of Chemical Engineering, RVR & JC College of Engineering, Chandramoulipuram, Chowdavaram, Guntur 522 019, in collaboration with Waltair Regional Centre, IIChE, during September 24-25, 2010, on the theme “Process Industries & Sustainable Development”.
